Abstract | Recycling coordinators supervise curbside and dropoff recycling programs for municipal governments or private firms. Today, recycling is mandatory in many communities. And advancements in collection and processing methods have helped to increase the quantity of materials for which the recycling coordinator is responsible. In some communities, consumers presort their recyclable materials before the materials are sent to a transfer station or processing facility. In others, all recyclables are collected together and then are sorted at the facility. Both types of processing facilities prepare the sorted materials for shipment to the paper mills, glass plants, and other companies that create new products from recyclables. In this article, Joanne Shafer describes her job as a recycling coordinator for Centre County, Pennsylvania. (ERIC). |
